First cousin once removed of Col. Edward Southworth, below, but not of the other Edward, Franklin Ames was a Gen. 9 Chilton & Gen. 8 Cooke descendant on his mother's side. He was also a Gen. 8 Cooke on his father's side. His Chilton line runs as follows: Hannah (Southworth) Ames, Perez Southworth, Edward, Edward, Desire (Gray) Southworth, Mary (Winslow) Gray, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife Susanna (Furner) Chilton, the last 3 all of the Mayflower. See Col. Edward's writeup for more details, and the Cooke writeup for those lineages. Trivia: Franklin is not wearing a Civil War uniform per se but the garb of a major in the U.S. Paymaster's office, circa 1866. The LOC has a collection of 19th century paymaster photos & letters from citizens nominating civilians for this job. Image and info from Bradford Kingman, History of North Bridgewater (Boston: author, 1866), pp. 439-440, 651-2, digitized by the University of California Libraries.

Ames, Frederick Lothrop

Best estimates are that he is a Generation 10 Chilton descendant, via his paternal grandmother Susan (Angier) Ames' paternal grandfather, Edward Howard. He may be the Edward b. 1723, in Bridgewater, per the Chilton Silver Book. Frederick, b. 1835 in North Easton, MA, was son of Oliver Ames (2nd), below, and Susan (Lothrop) Ames.

Ames, Oakes

Massachusetts Representative Oakes Ames was brother of the Hon. Oliver Ames and grandfather of Oakes Ames 2d, both below, and uncle of Frederick, above. If the premise of his and Oliver's mother Susan Angier being a Chilton descendant holds up, he would also be a Generation 9 Chilton. Library of Congress photo.

Ames, Oakes 2d

This Oakes Ames was grandson of Oakes Ames (above) and relative of Frederick and Oliver, below. He was a well-known Harvard botanist, specilizing in orchids, and would be a Generation 11 Chilton. His wife and collaborator, scientific illustrator Blanche (Ames) Ames, was not related. This photo comes from the Massachusetts government site for Borderlands State Park, formerly Oakes' and Blanche's family estate.

Ames, Oliver

Just to confuse things, Oakes Ames above (son of Oliver the Shovel King) brother to Oliver 2d, below, both of whom took over the Easton, MA shovel manufactury after their father, also named his son Oliver Ames (1831-1895). Governor Ames would be a Generation 10 Chilton. This Oliver became governor of Massachusetts and father of Oakes 2d, below. He did not use a suffix, such as "III" that might help distinguish among the Olivers. He would be a first cousin of Frederick, above as well. This image was a public domain image from wikipedia. A photo must surely exist but is not to be found on the mass.gov web site or on the Massachusetts Archives site. If anyone knows of one, please contact the webmaster. (Interestingly, the Ameses do not much resemble each other, so which - if any - looks like a Chilton? Oliver 2d most resembles Estelle Clark, directly below him, and Benjamin Winslow Harris, directly below her. Estelle and the Ames were Chiltons via Mary (Chilton) Winslow (Mrs. John Winslow). Benjamin was a Chilton via his father but his mother was a descendant via John's brother Kenelm. Perhaps these three look like Winslows. It would be nice to have more than three Winslow images: Elkanah Watson here and the links to the Edward and Josiah Winslow portraits at Pilgrim Hall, posted on wikipedia. )

Ames, Oliver (2nd)

The Hon. Oliver Ames (1807-1877) of Easton, MA was a son of Oliver Ames of Plymouth, who married Susan Angier, b. 1783. She was supposedly a descendant via her paternal grandfather Edward Howard of James Chilton (via daughter Mary and John Winslow.) That may be the Edward Howard, generation 6, in the Chilton Silver Book. If so, Hon. Oliver Ames, a MA legislator, would be a Generation 9 Chilton. His father Oliver was called "The Shovel King" and Easton became "Shoveltown" because the shovel he invented and manufactured became extremely popular, especially in the California Gold Rush. This Oliver was brother of Oakes Ames, father of Frederick, and great uncle of Oakes Ames 2d, all above. Image from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts,v. I (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), p. 28. Digitized by the Boston Public Library.

Father of Edward Avery (above) and Everett Chauncey (below) and sadly the author of their memorial, Everett C. was a Gen. 10 Chilton and an Allerton, Billington, S. Fuller, Howland-Tilley, and Eaton descendant. See the Allerton write-ups of all 3 for the details and full photo credits, and see either son's Chilton writeup here for the lineage. In the photo on the left he is about 55 and in the two on the right he is about 20, younger than his sons. Images from Conrad Reno, Memoirs of the Judiciary and the Bar of New England for the Nineteenth Century, Vol. II (Boston: Century Memorial, 1901), p. 807, digitized by the Boston Public Library & from "Civil War," Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division, Washington D.C.

Son of Barzillai and Vashti (Snell) Cary, this Barzillai is currently accepted by the GSMD as a Generation 9 Chilton descendant. He is definitely both a Generation 7/8 and 8/9 Alden-Mullins. Grandfather Moses Cary and his mother Vashti Snell are both noted as Generation 6/7 descendants in part 3 of the Alden Silver Books and Vashti's mother Betty (Howard) Snell is described there as a Generation 7 Chilton. A look at that book reveals that her father, Robert "Haward" is described as son of "probably Susanna Latham." That is because Chilton granddaughter Susanna Winslow's marriage to Robert Latham is believed to have produced a daughter named Susanna Latham, but all evidence is circumstantial. Someone by that name married John Howard/Haward, Jr. and produced the aforementioned Robert. You will have to prove that to join a lineage society as a Chilton descendant. This is not a good image of Barzillai; a better one would be welcome. This image & info on his Cary forebears came from Bradford Kingman, History of Brockton (Syracuse: Mason, 1895), p. 87, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

CLARK, DENNIS WOODRUFF

See the writeup on his son Mervin Washburn Clark, below, for the details on proving this Gen 9 Chilton line and for the actual lineage. Dennis W. (b. Farmington, CT 1819, d. Portland, ME 1904) was also a Cooke descendant, as was Mervin. If you wish to prove this line for GSMD membership, do review the text of the book from which this image was taken and also the Clark genealogy (John Clark of Farrington, CT) that Dennis commissioned because he and the earlier generation actually went west, lived in several different states, but wound up back in New England. Thus their paper trail may look confusing. Image & some info from George Thomas Little et al., comps., Genealogical and Family History of the State of Maine, Vol. 4 (NY: Lewis, 1909), pp. 1882-3, digitized by the Library of Congress.

Clark, Estelle

Generation 11 Chilton descendant Estelle (Clark) Woodward (b. Barre, MA 1864), had moved to Chicago as a Mrs. King by 1894, when she married as his second wife Theron Woodward in Oconomowoc, WI. Her line of descent was via Mary Chilton and John Winslow, brother of pilgrim Edward. The Chilton Silver Book gets as far as Mary Harris, Generation 6. Page 154 of the Tristram Dodge genealogy follows her line the rest of the way, through marriages into the Wilbore and Haskins families. Her line runs: Caroline E. (Haskins) Clark, Nathan Haskins, Jr., Clarissa (Wilbur) Haskins, Ebenezer Wilbur, Mary (Harris) Wilbore, Samuel Harris, Mercy (Latham) Harris, Susanna (Winslow) Latham, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton. The surname of her first husband is found in a Woodward genealogy Theron wrote for the NEHGR. (See Woodward, Theron, under Hopkins.) Image from Theron Royal Woodward, Dodge Genealogy: Descendants of Tristram Dodge (Chicago: Lanward, 1904), p. 181, digitized by the Library of Congress.

CLARK, MERVIN WASHBURN

See Mervin's Cooke writeup for more on his and his father Dennis's lineage and the challenges in documenting them. His Gen. 10 Chilton line runs as follows: Dennis Woodruff Clark, Milicent (Washburn) Clark, Joseph Washburn, Joseph, Joseph, Hannah (Latham) Washburn, Susanna (Winslow) Latham, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton. See the Cooke section for that lineage.

DUNLAP, SAMUEL FALES

Son of Lucy Fales and grandson of Samuel Fales, nephew of Haliburton #1 and cousin of Haliburton #2, all below, Samuel was a Gen. 10 Chilton & Rogers, Gen. 9 Warren & Bradford, and Gen. 9/10 Alden-Mullins via Samuel Fales's family plus Gen. 9 Warren twice again via paternal grandmother Abigail Haliburton. See Lucy's writeup for their Chilton lineage and for more detail overall see the family's write-ups in the Alden-Mullins section. His Bradford, Rogers, and Warren lineages are listed in those sections. He was a more distant relative of Stephen Smith Fales, below. Image and most of the info from DeCoursey Fales, The Fales Family of Bristol, Rhode Island (privately printed, 1919), p. 127, digitized by the Allen County Public Library and the picture rephotographed from the hard copy at the Library of Congress by reader Sarah M.

FALES, DECOURSEY

Author of the book from which all these Fales images were taken, DeCoursey (Gen. 11 Chilton & Rogers, Gens. 10 Warren & Bradford, and Gens. 10/11 Alden-Mullins) was born in NY City in 1888. He is the grandson of Haliburton Fales, below. See the description of brother Haliburton Fales #3 for the lineage here and in the Alden-Mullins, Bradford, Rogers, and Warren sections of this web site. Image and info from DeCoursey Fales, The Fales Family of Bristol, Rhode Island (privately printed, 1919), pp. 152, 158, digitized by the Allen County Public Library but the picture photographed by reader Sarah M. from the hard copy at the LOC.

FALES, HALIBURTON

Brother of Lucy and Samuel Bradford Fales, son of Samuel Fales (all below) and son of Abigail Haliburton on the Warren page, Haliburton (1815-1869) was a Gen. 9 Chilton & Rogers, Gen. 8 Bradford & Warren, and Gen. 8/9 Alden-Mullins on the paternal side and a Gen. 8 Warren twice again through his mother. He was the father and grandfather of Haliburton Fales # 2 and #3, below. See Lucy's writeup and the family's Alden-Mullins listings for more details. Image cropped from a painting by G. P. A. Healey that was printed in this book, then digitized. DeCoursey Fales, The Fales Family of Bristol, Rhode Island (privately printed, 1919), pp. 136-141, digitized by the Allen County Public Library but the picture photographed by helpful reader Sarah M. from the hard copy at the Library of Congress in Washington, DC.

FALES, HALIBURTON, Jr. (#2)

Son of Haliburton Fales, above, nephew of Lucy, and grandson of Samuel (both below), Haliburton Jr. was b. Boston 1849, moved to NY with his parents in 1854, and was apparently still living when this book was printed. This image, from a 1910 painting by Herman G. Herkomer, was made when he was about 60. (Younger images would be welcome.) I think he did not go by "Jr." in his lifetime because his father died when he was 20 and his son, Haliburton #3, below, signed his name as "Jr." See the writeup for his aunt, Lucy Fales (below) for his Gen. 10 Chilton & Rogers lineages and see the Alden-Mulllins, Bradford, and Warren sections for those lineages. Image and info from DeCoursey Fales, The Fales Family of Bristol, Rhode Island (privately printed, 1919), p. 151, digitized by the Allen County Public Library, and the image rephotographed from the hard copy at the LOC. (Haliburton #2 was also the father of DeCoursey Fales.)

FALES, HALIBURTON #3 (III or Jr.)

Son of Haliburton, Jr. (#2) and grandson of Haliburton, he would be a Gen 11 Chilton & Rogers plus an Alden-Mullins, Bradford, & Warren. Haliburton #3 (b 1885, presumably in NY City) was the older brother of the author of the book with these images. He had 3 children: Samuel, Elizabeth, and Ellen. This portrait is apparently a photograph, as it is credited as being by Underwood & Underwood, an early stereograph, news photography, and aerial photography firm. Haliburton should be 34 or slightly younger. His & DeCoursey's Chilton line would run: Haliburton Fales #2, Haliburton #1, Samuel, Nathaniel Jr., Sarah (Little) Fales, Edward Little, Sarah (Gray) Little, Mary (Winslow) Gray, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife Susanna (Furner) Chilton, these last 3 all of the Mayflower. See his other write-ups as well. Image and info from DeCoursey Fales, The Fales Family of Bristol, Rhode Island (privately printed, 1919), pp. 151-2, digitized by the Allen County Public Library but the image photographed by a kind reader from the hard copy at the LOC.

FALES, LUCY ANN CHARLOTTE AUGUSTA

For more on this family, see their write-ups, particularly Lucy's in the Alden-Mullins and Warren sections (the latter under "Haliburton.") Lucy, who was the daughter of Samuel Fales, sister of Samuel Bradford Fales and Haliburton Fales, mother of Samuel Fales Dunlap (all on this page), and daughter of Abigail Haliburton on the Warren page, was a Gen. 9 Chilton & Rogers, Gen. 8 Warren & Bradford, and Gen. 8/9 Alden-Mullins via her father's family plus a Gen. 8 Warren twice via her mother. Her Chilton line runs as follows: Samuel Fales, Nathaniel Jr., Sarah (Little) Fales, Edward Little, Sarah (Gray) Little, Mary (Winslow) Gray, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife Susanna (Furner) Chilton, these 3 of the Mayflower. (For Lucy's other lines see those writeups.) The Fales images are from a book with lots of full-length oil portraits of these people in opulent garb, some of which I could not resist showing on the Alden-Mullins page vs. cropping to the usual head shots on the others. A kind reader in Washington DC photographed the pictures in the hard copy book at the LOC and discovered they were not in color, but sepia-ish. If a descendant with the rights to publish the original paintings wishes to take photos and send them to me, I will gladly post them here. Image and most of the info from DeCoursey Fales, The Fales Family of Bristol, Rhode Island (privately printed, 1919), p. 123, digitized by the Allen County Public Library. The complete Chilton line is laid out as a chart on page 229 and vital records showed it to be correct.

FALES, SAMUEL

Father of Lucy and Haliburton, above, and of Samuel Bradford Fales, below; grandfather of Samuel Fales Dunlap and Haliburton Fales 2d, both above; and great-grandfather of Haliburton 3d and DeCoursey, also above; Samuel was a Gen 8 Chilton & Rogers descendant, a Gen. 7 Bradford & Warren, and Gens. 7/8 Alden-Mullins. See Lucy's writeup for the Chilton lineage. Samuel was born in Bristol, RI in 1775 but the family later settled in Boston, where he married Abigail Haliburton, a Warren descendant pictured in that section, in 1801. He died there in 1848. This image is a photograph of a page on which was reproduced in sepia a painting by Gilbert Stuart, made in 1806, when he would have been 31 and already prosperous. He was a first cousin of Stephen Smith Fales, below. Image and info from DeCoursey Fales, The Fales Family of Bristol, Rhode Island (privately printed, 1919), frontispiece and pp. 104-06, digitized by the Allen County Public Library. The page was photographed separately at the LOC by a helpful reader.

FALES, SAMUEL BRADFORD

Son of Samuel, brother of Lucy, & uncle of Samuel Fales Dunlap, above, Samuel was a Gen. 9 Chilton & Rogers, Gen. 8 Warren & Bradford, and Gen. 8/9 Alden-Mullins via his father and a Gen. 8 Warren twice more via his mother, Abigail Haliburton. See Lucy's writeup for the lineage and see the Alden-Mullins section on more detail on where the papers of this family can be found. Image & info from DeCoursey Fales, The Fales Family of Bristol, Rhode Island (privately printed, 1919), pp. 128-133, digitized by the Allen County Public Library. The picture was photographed separately at the LOC from a hardcover edition, by a helpful reader to get a sharper picture than scanned books provide. If you find a picture of Samuel as a younger man or with a shorter beard, and it's in the public domain, I would be glad to post it here.

FALES, STEPHEN SMITH

A Gen 8 Chilton and Gen 7 Warren descendant, Stephen was born in Bristol, RI in 1783 and died there in 1839. This portrait was supposed to have been painted in Holland, 1804, when he would have been 21. A better scan would be much appreciated. Stephen was a master mariner and lived for 20 years in Cuba, with one of his children supposedly born there and two married there (to Americans.) Thus if you are tracing this line and reach a brick wall, try Havana. (Some Cuban records may be in Spain.) Stephen's Chilton line, which the Silver Book tracks through the birth of Gen 6 and the NEHGS site tracks via RI VRs to Stephen, runs as follows: William Fales, Sarah (Little) Fales, Edward Little, Sarah (Gray) Little, Mary (Winslow) Gray, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife Susanna (Furner) Chilton, all 3 of the Mayflower. Stephen would have been a first cousin of Samuel Fales, above. See Stephen's Warren writeup for that line. Image and info from DeCoursey Fales, The Fales Family of Bristol, Rhode Island (privately printed, 1919), p. 119, digitized by the Allen County Public Library.

FORD, MICHAEL JR./2D

A Gen. 8 Chilton descendant, Michael was also a double Warren descendant (Gens. 7 & 8) through his father, and through his mother, Rhoda Copeland, a Gen. 6/7 Alden-Mullins. He is personally listed in vol. 4 of the Alden Silver Book. See the Alden-Mullins & Warren sections for those lines and more details about him, his extended family, and his War of 1812 experience. Michael (actually the 3rd of that name) was from an extended family of shipbuilders, born in Scituate MA in 1784 and died in South Scituate in 1788. His Chilton line runs as follows: Michael Ford, Orphan (Waterman) Ford, Elizabeth (Arnold) Waterman, Elizabeth (Gray) Arnold, Mary (Winslow) Gray, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife Susanna (Furner) Chilton, all 3 of the Mayflower. A larger image would be welcome. Image and info from L. Vernon Briggs, History of Shipbuilding on North River, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, with Genealogies of the Shipbuilders, and Accounts of the Industries Upon its Tributaries, 1640 to 1872 (Boston: Coburn, 1889), pp. 131-2, 135, 136, digitized by the Library of Congress.

GRENDELL, ABIGAIL C.

She began as a schoolteacher and began hiring knitters, according to the author of the book with this picture, at one point as many as 1500 women from Penobscot, ME and the surrounding area, making mittens in their homes. This began in 1864 and in 1882 the business began using machines. Abby (b. 1839) was eventually the largest taxpayer in town. Her married name was Condon and she did have one child who survived to have his own son (Brainard Condon, son Guy) as of the date of this book. There may be more Pilgrims in Abigail's background but the one I could find most readily was this Gen 10 Chilton line: Clarinda (Orcutt) Grendell, Galen Orcutt, Jacob, Deliverance (Kingman) Orcutt, Desire (Harris) Kingman, Mercy (Latham) Harris, Susanna (Winslow) Latham, Mary (Chilton) Winslow and her parents James & Mrs. Chilton, all 3 of the Mayflower.

Harris, Benjamin Winslow

U.S. Congressman Benjamin Harris (R-MA) (1823-1907), was a descendant of at least 8 Mayflower Families, going only from data on the Harris side. (His mother, Mary Winslow Thomas, was described in the book from which this photo came as a descendant of Kenelm Winslow, brother of pilgrim Edward. She was also a Warren) Benjamin was a Generation 10 Chilton descendant. He was twice a Generation 8 Brown descendant from the marriage of an earlier Benjamin Harris, the congressman's great-grandfather, to Sarah Snow. Both were Generation 5 Brown. Benjamin was also a Generation 8 Bradford, Generation 8/9 Alden-Mullins & Warren, and Generation 9 Cooke & Hopkins descendant. The Chilton & Alden Silver Books go only to Arthur Harris, his great-great grandfather. Great-grandfather Benjamin is the final Harris entry in the Cooke Silver Book.The Brown and Hopkins Silver Books take the line to his grandfather, the first Deacon William Harris. Information on his Warren & Bradford descent is given in the description of his son Robert O. Harris, below. Info and image from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. I (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), pp. 54-56, scanned by S. Mackowski.

Harris, Robert Orr

Son of Rep. Benjamin Winslow Harris, above, Robert O. Harris was a Generation 11 Chilton descendant, a Generation 9 Brown (twice) and Bradford, a Generation 9/10 Alden-Mullins & Warren, and a Generation 10 Cooke & Hopkins. The book from which this photo comes stated that he was a member of the General Society of Mayflower Descendants (GSMD) and in addition to the lines discernable from his father's writeup, also claimed descent from William Bradford and Richard Warren. This turned out to be also through his father, via great-grandmother Alice (Mitchell) Harris, wife if the 1st Deacon William Harris. She was daughter of Cushing Mitchell and Margaret (---). Cushing appears as Generation 6 in v3 of the Richard Warren Silver Book, and his descent is via Edward, Alice Bradford, and Mercy Warren (Gen 3) who had married John Bradford, a Generation 2 descendant of the pilgrim. His mother's family (Julia A. Orr, daughter of Robert Orr, esq. of Boston and Melinda Wilbur) merits examination for Pilgrim links as well. Info and image from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. I (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), pp. 54-57, scanned by S. Mackowski.

HEWETT, HERMAN

Thanks to the marriage of his great grandparents, Joseph Hewett and Ann Waterman (cousins) in the 1760s, Herman was twice a Generation 8 Warren on his father's side and a Generation 9 Chilton descendant. His Chilton line runs as follows: Joseph Hewett, Joseph, Ann (Waterman) Hewett, Thomas Waterman, Elizabeth (Arnold) Waterman, Elizabeth (Gray) Arnold, Mary (Winslow) Gray, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton of the Mayflower. The Chilton book gets as far as Ann's father Thomas Waterman, but the Warren book includes her birth as Gen 6. However, her marriage to Gen 6 Joseph Hewett #2 is not noted in vol. 3. Ann's birth date matches that given for Ann (Waterman) Hewett in the book from which this image was taken, though. The additional information on Harlow antecedents conflicts with other records but there may be other Pilgrim lines in Herman's family as well. Image and info from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. I (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), pp. 477-9, scanned by S. Mackowski

Horton, Everett Southworth

Major Everett Southworth Horton of Attleboro (1836-1911) served in the Civil War and as a MA legislator. Everett (and younger brother James, below) was a Generation 11 Chilton descendant, via his mother, Sarah Southworth Smith, whose grandmother Molly Southworth was granddaughter of the Constant Southworth listed as Generation 6 in the Chilton-More Silver Book. The son of Gideon Martin Horton as well, Everett was allegedly a Generation 8 Billington via his paternal grandmother, Pearcy (Martin) Horton, great-granddaughter of English immigrant John Martin and Mercy Billington, a Generation 3 Mayflower descendant. The book from which this photo came gives the 2 intermediate generations as Hezekiah Martins 1 & 2. Silver Book Vols. 5 & 21 list no Hezekiah's, but the NEHGS does show John & Mercy Martin of Rehoboth having a son Hezekiah, who had a son Hezekiah, who had a daughter Pearcy who married Cromwell Horton, as this book states. Image from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. I (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), p. 442, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

Horton, James Jackson

Youngest sibling of Everett Southworth Horton, above, James (b. 1841) was a Generation 11 Chilton descendant, via his mother, whose grandmother Molly Southworth was granddaughter of the Constant Southworth listed as Generation 6 in the Chilton-More Silver Book. James was also allegedly a Generation 8 Billington via his paternal grandmother, Pearcy (Martin) Horton, great-granddaughter of English immigrant John Martin and Mercy Billington, a Generation 3 Mayflower descendant. The book from which this photo came gives the 2 intermediate generations as Hezekiah Martins 1 & 2. Silver Book Vols. 5 & 21 list no Hezekiah's, but the NEHGS does show John & Mercy Martin of Rehoboth having a son Hezekiah, who had a son Hezekiah, who had a daughter Pearcy who married Cromwell Horton, as this book states. Image from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. I (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), p. 447, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

HOWARD, BLANCHE WILLIS

Blanche Willis (Howard) von Truffel (1847-1898) was probably a Gen. 9 Chilton via a paternal line. The Chilton Silver Book gets as far as Gen. 6, Daniel Howard of Bridgewater, b. 1750. Her line runs as follows: Daniel Mosely Howard, Daniel, Daniel, Robert, Susanna (Latham) Howard, Susanna (Winslow) Latham, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife Susanna (Furner) Chilton​, all 3 of the Mayflower. The "probably" is because there has been some controversy over whether Susanna (Latham) Howard was the daughter of Susanna Winslow and Robert Latham. Also, the Howard genealogy and some other sources say that her name might have been "Sarah" Latham when there might have been a second wife named Sarah. The General Society of Mayflower Descendants does accept this line but as always, reserves the right to close it or any other line should new evidence warrant it. And remember, if you are researching a Howard ancestor, look for "Haward" and "Hayward," as they were often the same people. Image and info from Heman Howard, Howard Genealogy: the Descendants of John Howard of Bridgewater, MA (Brockton: Standard Printing, 1903), pp. 10-11, 23, 47, 101. Digitized by the Allen County (IN) Public Library.

​HOWARD, DANIEL S.

Presumably the "S." is for "Sturtevant," but I have not seen that verified anywhere yet. Older brother of Gorham B. Howard, below, Daniel is also a probable Gen. 9 Chilton plus an Eaton, Standish, Doty, Alden, Mullins, Priest, Hopkins, and Cooke. See his and Gorham's other write-ups for the lineages. ​Image and some info from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. I (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), pp. 41-43, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

As the younger brother (b. 1827) of Daniel S. Howard, above, Gorham B. Howard was also a probable Gen. 9 Chilton, plus a Gen. 8 Eaton, Standish & Doty (twice), Gen. 8/9 Alden-Mullins, and Gen. 9 Priest, Hopkins & Cooke. The birth of their grandfather, Ephraim Sturtevant, is in the Eaton silver book. The brothers' proposed Chilton line runs: Lucy (Sturtevant) Howard, Abigail (Howard) Sturtevant, Robert Howard/Haward, Robert Haward, "prob. Susanna (Latham) Haward," Susannah (Winslow) Latham, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife Susanna (Furner) Chilton, all 3 of the Mayflower. (Mary Chilton married John Winslow, brother of pilgrim Edward Winslow.) In the Chilton book this family is called "Haward" and in many Silver Books they will be listed as Howard, Haward, and/or Hayward. If anyone finds out that he was named "Gorham Bradford" due to some genealogical link to John Howland's son-in-law or to William Bradford, please let me know the particulars. Image and some info from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. I (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), pp. 41-43, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

Emma, b 1829, was "educated at Yarmouth Academy and taught school for a time," according to the author of the book with this photo. Thus she may have left a better photographic record than other women of her day. She was said to have been a Gen 9 Chilton and a Gen 7 Soule descendant through the same grandmother. See Emma's Soule writeup for more info and that lineage. Her Chilton line runs: Alethea (Drinkwater) Loring, Sylvanus Drinkwater, Jane/Jennet (Latham) Drinkwater, Thomas Latham, James, Susanna (Winslow) Latham, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton - but you will have to prove everything after the birth of Sylvanus in 1747. Emma left one son, Frederick Odell Conant (b 1857) of Portland, ME, president of the Maine Genealogical Society. He did a lot of research that the author used so if you are also researching this family try searching the National Union Catalog of Manuscript Collections (NUCMC) or the user-friendly version, ArchiveGrid, to see if he left his collection anywhere.

MANNING, FRANKLIN WASHBURN

Great grandson of Samuel Washburn, below, Franklin (1874-1898) is another example of a young man whose photo serves as a memento to a soldier who died in the service. Franklin was in the Spanish-American War and died of disease on the way back from Cuba. He was buried at sea. His Gen 11 Chilton lineage would run: Grace LeBaron (Washburn) Manning, Franklin Washburn, Samuel, Jacob Washburn, Miles Washburn, Ebenezer, Hannah (Latham) Washburn, Susanna (Winslow) Latham, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife Susanna (Furner) Chilton, all 3 of the Mayflower. The writeup of Samuel's sister Laura contains more background info, including a caution about having to prove this line before attempting to submit it to any lineage group. See his Cooke writeup for that line. Info from George T. Washburn, Ebenezer Washburn: His Ancestors and Descendants with Some Connected Families (Pasumalai, South India: American Mission Lenox Press, 1913), 80a, 81-2, 84-5. Image from Mary LeBaron Stockwell, Descendants of Francis LeBaron of Plymouth, Mass. (Boston: Marvin, 1904), pp. 201, digitized by the New York Public Library. Both books digitized by the New York Public Libraries. Note: This same image (actually full length) is in William H. Manning, The Genealogical and Biographical History of the Manning Families of New England and Descendants, from the Settlement in America to Present Time (Salem: Salem Press, 1902), p. 645, digitized by the Library of Congress. This volume contains no info on his maternal Mayflower line, though.

MASON, THOMAS FALES

A Gen. 9 Chilton and Gen. 8 Warren, Thomas was a Mayflower descendant via his maternal great-grandmother, Sarah Little of RI. Though this image comes from a book on New Yorkers (all of them white males), it happened to mention that his mother was descended from someone (unspecified) on the Mayflower and that the family was from RI and Bristol County, MA. Again, by 1900 family memories of those who had moved away had faded but they did remember that someone definitely had been aboard the ship. The known facts made it look plausible, thus worth investigating. Find a Fales genealogy book with Thomas, his parents, and grandparents was helpful, especially because it said which branch of Bristol County Faleses descended from which Pilgrim, and said the Littles were Warrens and Chiltons. Thomas Mason's Chilton line turned out to run as follows: Sarah (Fales) Mason, Thomas Fales, Sarah (Little) Fales, Edward Little, Sarah (Gray) Little, Mary (Winslow) Gray, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife Susanna (Furner) Chilton, these 3 of the Mayflower. (See his Warren writeup for that line.) Since his Warren line is one generation shorter, that Silver Book was more helpful. Thomas's namesake grandfather was listed as Gen. 6 in Vol. 2., 2d ed. (Hint: anytime someone born within a generation or 2 after the Revolution has a middle name that is a surname, look upwards in the family line for someone with that same combination as his or her first and last name. The two names were almost always "together" during that period, unlike later times when parents would name a child after both grandfathers, or two brothers, etc. and the baby was given 2 Christian names.) RI Fales VRs are on the NEHGS site. Image and some info from Mitchell C. Harrison, comp., New York State's Prominent and Progressive Men, vol. 3(NY: NY Tribune, 1900) p. 224, digitized by the Library of Congress.

MORRISON, ALVA S.

The "S" is probably for "Southworth," his mother's family name. Alva S. is the nephew of Amasa Southworth and cousin of Consider Southworth, both below, which makes him a Gen. 9 Chilton descendant. Alva S., born in 1835, was in the family yarn & underwear business, married twice, and had 5 children, per the book with this photo. (Check out the Southworth entries for more details.) Alva S.'s line runs: Mira (Southworth) Morrison, Consider Southworth, Jedediah, Constant, Edward, Desire (Gray) Southworth, Mary (Winslow) Gray, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife Susanna (Furner) Chilton, all 3 Mayflower passengers. His father Alva Morrison's image is also in this book and the two do not resemble each other much, so maybe this is the face of a Southworth. Image and info from D. Hamilton Hurd, History of Norfolk County, Massachusetts, with Biographical Sketches of its Pioneers and Prominent Men (Philadelphia: Lewis, 1884), pp. 134-5, 421, digitized by the Library of Congress.

PACKARD, DEWITT CLINTON

North Bridgewater/Brockton's longtime city clerk in the late 1800s-early 1900s, DeWitt Clinton Packard was a Generation 9/10 Alden-Mullins twice. (See that section for those lines.) Through his mother's Harris ancestors he was also a Gen. 10 Chilton descendant as follows: Hannah (Packard) Packard, Mehitable (Harris) Packard, Abiel Harris, Seth, Samuel, Mercy (Latham) Harris, Susanna (Winslow) Latham, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife Susanna (Furner) Chilton, all passengers on the Mayflower. DeWitt's father was named Washburn Packard, so do not be surprised to find other Mayflower ancestors in his family tree, although he himself is an example of the post-Revolutionary phenomenon of parents naming their children after prominent national and local figures instead of Biblical figures and close family. Image from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. 2 (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), p. 682, digitized by the Boston Public Library but scanned from the hardcover copy by me at the Library of Congress.

PERKINS, MERRITT G[REENWOOD]

A Generation 10 Chilton descendant, Merritt Perkins was born in 1864 in Bridgewater but as an adult lived in New Jersey, where he joined the Mayflower Society as a Chilton & Cooke descendant, Sons of the American Revolution, and the Order of the Founders and Patriots of America. (The latter requires both a 17th century ancestor and a Revolutionary War soldier in the father's or mother's father's direct line.) Merritt's Chilton line runs: John Perkins, Asa Jr., Asa, David Jr., Martha (Haward/Howard/Hayward) Perkins, prob. Susanna (Latham) Haward/Howard/Hayward, Susanna (Winslow) Latham, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife Susanna (Furner) Chilton, all 3 aboard the Mayflower. The "prob." - for "probably" - comes straight from the Chilton Silver Book and indicates that scholarship indicates this is the person but with less than ideal proof. For now, you may still apply to the Mayflower Society and be accepted via that link. So far I have not identified Merritt's Cooke line. Can you help? Image from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. I (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), p. 233, scanned by S. Mackowski.

Louisa Ricketson, as she was known in adult life, was a Chilton, Alden-Mullins, Samson, Standish, and possible Warren descendant via paternal grandmother Hannah Cooper. Her Gen 10 Chilton line runs: Zabdiel Sampson, Hannah (Cooper) Sampson, Richard Cooper, Hannah (Rider) Cooper, Mary (Southworth) Rider, Desire (Gray) Southworth, Mary (Winslow) Gray, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife Susanna (Furner) Chilton, 3 passengers on the Mayflower. The Chilton book gets as far as the birth of Hannah Rider but the Henry Samson silver book Part 3 reveals Hannah's marriage, son Richard, and Richard's daughter and grandson. The only VRs still needed were Maria Louisa's 1813 birth and her 1834 marriage to Daniel Ricketson of New Bedford. These were found on the NEHGS site. See her Samson writeup for more information on Louisa and children Arthur, Walton, Emma Louise, and Anna Ricketson and the Mystery/Fun Photos section for the Warren puzzler.

SHAW, ICHABOD

Father of Sally Shaw, below, Ichabod should be a Gen. 7 Chilton. See Sally's writeup for the lineage and for details on why I say "should." This image was painted in the same year and by the same artist that did his daughter's painting. Ichabod (1734-1821) would have been 79 years old. Both he and his wife were painted with dark eyes so Sally could have inherited hers from either one. Image & info from Benjamin Shurtleff (6th), Descendants of William Shurtleff of Plymouth and Marshfield, Massachusetts, vol. 1 (Revere, MA: 1912), pp. 145-6, digitized by the New York Public Library.

SHAW, SALLY

​Sally Shaw (1778-1845) is a distant cousin of the 2 Edward Southworths, below, and a Gen. 8 Chilton. The info on her lineage came from vol. 1 of a book on the Shurtleff clan (husband Benjamin is on the Allerton page, Gen. 7) and the Chilton Silver Book agrees with that author's summary of her lineage through the birth of Desire Southworth in Middleboro, MA, 1707. The NEHGS database has vital records for the succeeding generations but nothing that specifies that anyone was the child of a particular person. Thus, if you were to turn in this lineage to the Mayflower Society you would still have to prove the crucial parent-child link. For now I will assume that someone has done so, and the writeup on her husband said that he was a longtime member of the NEHGS, but caveat emptor. Sally's line should run: Ichabod Shaw, Desire (Southworth) Shaw, Ichabod Southworth, Desire (Gray) Southworth, Mary (Winslow) Gray, Mary (Chilton) Gray, James Chilton & wife Susanna (Furner) Chilton, all 3 aboard the Mayflower. This image is a digitization of a B&W book print from an 1813 painting by Ethan Allen Greenwood, presumably in color. Sally would be about 35 years old. Image & info from Benjamin Shurtleff (6th), Descendants of William Shurtleff of Plymouth and Marshfield, Massachusetts, vol. 1 (Revere, MA: 1912), p. 145, digitized by the New York Public Library.

SHOCKLEY, WILLIAM IRVING

A sea captain and son of sea captain Humphrey Alden Shockley, William was a Gen. 10 Chilton and a Gen. 8/9 Alden-Mullins descendant thanks to paternal grandmother Sarah "Sally" (Alden) Shockley, named in the Alden Silver Book part 3 as the daughter of Humphrey Alden (also a sea captain.) The Chilton Silver Book gets only to the birth of Austin, but the Alden book reveals that Austin moved to Maine, where his elderly father came and lived out his days with him. Maine is an easy place to lose track of people and many times the next generation left in search of work. William's Chilton line runs: Humphrey Alden Shockley, Sarah (Alden) Shockley, Humphrey Alden, Austin, Elizabeth (Arnold) (Waterman) Alden, Elizabeth (Gray) Arnold, Mary (Winslow) Gray, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife Susanna (Furner) Chilton, all 3 on the Mayflower. See his Alden-Mullins writeup for more details. Image from Franklyn Howland, A History of the Town of Acushnet (New Bedford: author, 1907), p. 343, digitized by the Library of Congress.

SOUTHWORTH, AMASA

A Gen. 9 Chilton descendant, Amasa was born in 1807 and died before the publication of the book from which this image was taken. A mill owner in business with a brother, Consider A. Southworth, he left many descendants. The Southworth naming pattern involves a lot of repetition and numerous children so it is easy to get lost, but the Consider below is Amasa's nephew. Here is Amasa's line: Consider Southworth, Jedediah, Constant, Edward, Desire (Gray) Southworth, Mary (Winslow) Gray, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife Susanna (Furner) Chilton, all 3 Mayflower passengers. The Chilton silver book stops with the birth of the Constant born in Middleboro 1712, i.e. Amasa's great grandfather, so turn to the vital records on NEHGS for proof beyond this point. Fortunately the book with this image did name wives and tell something about them (not all do.) That will help you keep your Southworths straight. Image and info from D. Hamilton Hurd, History of Norfolk County, Massachusetts, with Biographical Sketches of its Pioneers and Prominent Men (Philadelphia: Lewis, 1884), p. 421, digitized by the Library of Congress.

SOUTHWORTH, CONSIDER

Also a Gen. 9 Chilton descendant, this Consider was born in Stoughton, MA in 1840 and was the product of his father's first marriage. Nephew of Amasa, above, his line runs: Asahel Southworth, Consider, Jedediah, Constant, Edward, Desire (Gray) Southworth, Mary (Winslow) Gray, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife Susanna (Furner) Chilton. See Amasa's writeup for more detail. Image and info from D. Hamilton Hurd, History of Norfolk County, Massachusetts, with Biographical Sketches of its Pioneers and Prominent Men (Philadelphia: Lewis, 1884), pp. 419, 421, digitized by the Library of Congress.

SOUTHWORTH, [Col.] EDWARD

The Southworths were an early southeastern MA family that married into several Pilgrim families but named many of the males Edward or Constant. Col. Edward is a much older cousin of the Edward below; his grandfather Perez Southworth being the older brother of Abiah Southworth. (The latter family moved to Pelham and the children born after 1799 are not listed in the book from which this Edward's photo was taken.) Col. Edward was "first clerk in the town" (presumably one of the Bridgewaters) and a Gen. 8 Chilton & Gen. 7 Cooke descendant. His line runs: Perez Southworth, Edward, Edward, Desire (Gray) Southworth, Mary (Winslow) Gray, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife Susanna (Furner) Chilton, 3 passengers on the Mayflower. Note that neither is a descendant of Pilgrim Edward Winslow but are collateral descendants via brother John Winslow, who married Mary Chilton. See the Cooke writeup for that line. Image and info from Bradford Kingman, History of North Bridgewater (Boston: author, 1866), pp. 650-54, digitized by the University of California Libraries, and verified by vital records on the NEHGS site.

Also a distant cousin of the Southworths above, Thomas (1810-1878) was a Gen. 9 Chilton but a Gen. 7 Howland, and that means you can get a little farther using the GSMD silver book, vol. 23, Part 1 than you can with the Chilton book. Specifically, you can get to his grandfather. The NEHGS has VRs of Carver online and that gives you Thomas's birth. Since there is a big gap in the online vital records where his parents should be, I figured he was from Middleboro and that proved correct. If you join a lineage society on this family, you will need to make that jump using other sources. The book from which this image was taken apparently ran it because the author had it. Thomas Southworth is mentioned here and there, typically on lists of people, but there is no writeup about him or his clan. Knowing who else was in Carver, I found a family history for a neighbor and sure enough, there he was, due to the intermarriage one finds in the 1600s & 1700s. Starting with his father, Thomas's Chilton line runs: Thomas Southworth, Gideon, Gideon, Nathaniel, Desire (Gray) Southworth, Mary (Winslow) Gray, Mary (Chilton) Winslow and her parents James & Susanna (Furner) Chilton, all of the Mayflower. There may be more Pilgrims in his line; it is particularly worth checking the maternal Haskins and Haskell lines. Image from Henry S. Griffith, History of Carver Massachusetts, Historical Review 1637 to 1910 (New Bedford: Anthony, 1913), p. 238, digitized by the U MA Amherst Library. Helpful info from Benjamin Shurtleff (6th), Descendants of William Shurtleff of Plymouth and Marshfield, Massachusetts, vol. 1 (Revere, MA: 1912), p. 625, digitized by the New York Public Library.

WASHBURN, ABRAHAM

See Laura, below, for questions about this family. If they hold up to scrutiny, Abraham (1753-1851), as Laura and Samuel's paternal uncle, would be a Gen. 7 Chilton and Cooke. A sharper picture in the public domain would be appreciated. Info and image from George T. Washburn, Ebenezer Washburn: His Ancestors and Descendants with Some Connected Families (Pasumalai, South India: American Mission Lenox Press, 1913), 65-6, 157, digitized by the New York Public Libraries.

WASHBURN, DAVID SCUDDER

Son of George Thomas Washburn, below, David was a probable Gen. 10 Chilton and Cooke descendant. See George, Laura, and Samuel Washburn's write-ups for why I say "probable." George's shows the lineage. If you prove this family, please let me know. Image and some info from George T. Washburn, Ebenezer Washburn: His Ancestors and Descendants with Some Connected Families (Pasumalai, South India: American Mission Lenox Press, 1913), pp. 92, 94, 144, digitized by the New York Public Libraries.

WASHBURN, EDWIN MILES

Laura and Samuel, below, had a brother named Miles, and this is his son. The caption under the illustration says "Miles" but the list of illustrations in the front of the book says "Edwin Miles," and the text mentions an accident that left the younger man minus a hand. The full image in the book does show a man with a missing hand. If this line is approved Edwin Miles would be a Gen. 9 Chilton and Cooke. Since Edwin Miles Washburn married a Brewster, his children will be in that section as well. (See Oliver Miles Washburn.) See Laura's writeup for his Chilton lineage. Info and image from George T. Washburn, Ebenezer Washburn: His Ancestors and Descendants with Some Connected Families (Pasumalai, South India: American Mission Lenox Press, 1913), p. 96-7, digitized by the New York Public Libraries.

WASHBURN, GEORGE THOMAS

Author of the book from which most of the Washburn images on this page were taken, he was brother of Edwin Miles Washburn, above, and thus also a nephew of Laura and Samuel, below. He was an overseas missionary, thus the Indian publication info and presumably he had to rely on handwritten correspondence that went by ship and helpers back in the U.S. to research this book. This line would need some work to prove but IMO it is probable. The Gen. 9 Chilton lineage would run: Miles Washburn, Jacob, Miles, Ebenezer, Hannah (Latham) Washburn, Susanna (Winslow) Latham, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife Susanna (Furner) Chilton of the Mayflower. George's Cooke lineage is on that page. Info and image from George T. Washburn, Ebenezer Washburn: His Ancestors and Descendants with Some Connected Families (Pasumalai, South India: American Mission Lenox Press, 1913), 94 and preface digitized by the New York Public Libraries.

WASHBURN, LAURA

This one needs some proving. Both the Chilton and Cooke Silver Books get as far as the birth of her supposed grandfather, Miles Washburn, in CT 1730/31. After that, an online search of the Barbour Collection digitized thus far on the NEHGS site turns up the birth of her supposed mother, Phebe Northrup, but that's it. However, this book has excruciating amounts of detail so I suspect it's fine. You would just need to get CT records and their probate documents are hard to obtain remotely (i.e., online.) I have heard you essentially have to hire someone there to go to the central archives and find them for you. The reason is that some eons ago CT decided to do probate by "district" and not by county, town, or state. Anyway, Laura should be a Gen. 8 Chilton and Cooke, as would be her brother Samuel, below. See the Cooke section for that writeup but her Gen 8 Chilton line runs: Jacob Washburn, Miles Washburn, Ebenezer, Hannah (Latham) Washburn, Susanna (Winslow) Latham, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife Susanna (Furner) Chilton of the Mayflower. Incidentally, the "Miles" name has nothing to do with Capt. Standish. Miles Washburn's mother was Patience Miles of Derby, CT. Laura married a Thomas Blossom so further images could possibly be found searching under that name. They had no children. Info and image from George T. Washburn, Ebenezer Washburn: His Ancestors and Descendants with Some Connected Families (Pasumalai, South India: American Mission Lenox Press, 1913), 56b, 57, 63, 65, 80a, 81, 88, digitized by the New York Public Libraries.

WASHBURN, OLIVER MILES

Prof. Oliver M. Washburn was a Brewster on his mother's side and if Laura and Samuel Washburn are Cooke and Chilton descendants, then so is he, Gen. 10, as son of their nephew Edwin Miles Washburn, above. The Chilton line would run: Edwin Miles Washburn, Miles, Jacob, Miles, Ebenezer, Hannah (Latham) Washburn, Susanna (Winslow) Latham, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife Susanna (Furner) Chilton, all 3 on the Mayflower. See his Brewster and Cooke write-ups for those lines. Image and some info from George T. Washburn, Ebenezer Washburn: His Ancestors and Descendants with Some Connected Families (Pasumalai, South India: American Mission Lenox Press, 1913), 96-97, 99-100, digitized by the New York Public Libraries.

WASHBURN, SAMUEL

Brother of Laura, above, Samuel (1786-1880) will present the same challenges to his descendants. He would also be a Gen. 8 Chilton and Cooke. See Laura's write-ups for details. He and Laura may have been born in Lenox, CT according to the confusing land transactions described in the book from which this photo was taken. Apparently near relations lived in both CT and VT, so if you think your Washburns and Northrups can't be the same people because yours were in VT, look again. Samuel married a Lenox woman, too, a Betsey Porter, daughter of Capt. John Porter and presumably his wife. Samuel was a blacksmith, a farmer, and in business with a wheelwright; lived in Berkshire, CT and the father of three. Image and info from George T. Washburn, Ebenezer Washburn: His Ancestors and Descendants with Some Connected Families (Pasumalai, South India: American Mission Lenox Press, 1913), 80a-82, digitized by the New York Public Libraries.

WINSLOW, ANNA GREEN

A Gen. 7 Chilton descendant, Anna's Winslow surname come from her descent from John Winslow, brother of pilgrim Edward. The information I have on her comes from a book you can download from the Internet Archive, her diary, annotated by an editor who added the genealogical information. Everything agrees with the Chilton silver book but I found no birth info on Anna herself on the NEHGS site. She was born in Nova Scotia approximately 1760 and died, according to a family tradition cited by the author, in Marshfield in 1779, though the author refers to a family letter of 1783 that seems to imply Anna lived longer. Anna did not have children and her age when this image was made is not known. The diary covers her school years in Boston in the early 1770s, but it is hard to find dates. Anna's Gen 7 Chilton line would run: Joshua Winslow, John, John, John, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James and Susanna (Furner) Chilton, all 3 of the Mayflower. Image and some info from Alice Morse Earle, ed., Diary of Anna Green Winslow, a Boston School Girl of 1771 (Boston & NY: Houghton Mifflin, 1894), pp. iii, ix-xiii, frontispiece, digitized by the New York Public Library.

WINSLOW, JOSHUA

This scan shows a black & white reprint of a miniature painted by John Singleton Copley in 1755, when Joshua Winslow was a general in the British army during the French & Indian War. He served in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick and when this miniature was made he was a bachelor of about 28-29, with 10 years of military service under his belt. (The precocious Copley was all of 17.) Three years later Joshua would marry Anna Green and become the father of 3 children, including Anna Green Winslow, in whose reprinted diary this image may be found. His Gen. 6 birth is in the Chilton silver book and runs: John Winslow, John, John, Mary (Chilton) Winslow and her parents James and Susanna (Furner) Winslow, all 3 of the Mayflower. Note that Joshua was not a descendant of pilgrim Edward Winslow. Image and some info from Alice Morse Earle, ed., Diary of Anna Green Winslow, a Boston School Girl of 1771 (Boston & NY: Houghton Mifflin, 1894), pp. iii, ix-xiii, 20, digitized by the New York Public Library.
